Major U.S. stock-indexes mixed in choppy trading as tepid economic data and a renewed selloff in the bond market more than offset a flurry of corporate deals on Wednesday. Import prices fell in April, weekly applications for home mortgages were down and U.S. business inventories barely rose in March. U.S. retail sales were unchanged in April as households cut back on purchases of automobiles and other big-ticket items.

Most of the Dow stocks are trading in positive area (17 of 30). Top looser - E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (DD, -7.12%). Top gainer - Microsoft Corporation (MSFT, +1.18%).

S&P index sectors mixed. Top gainer - Industrial goods (+0,5%). Top looser - Utilities (-0.8%).
